I think I read in a post that the 98+ headlights have a sharper cutoff line.

I was just going to comment on that - if I'm not mistaken Lexus / Toyota slightly modified the curvature of the lens it's self inside the projector to improve it's focus.

Huuhh!!

There is a Difference in the ones that came on SC's the from the factory and the ones you buy from Lexus(Toyota) parts now.

Look in the Lighting section, look up Iron Cobra's HID Lens post.

i'm about to get a HID conversion kit in not too long and possibly do some retro fitting ot the bezel

is it worth dishing money for new ones?

Brand new headlights are ALWAYS worth it. No matter how hard you rub your used lenses, it will never be able to achieve brand new clarity.

By the way, if you buy the new headlights, be sure to get it clear bra'd so it doesn't get oxidation...

From what I know, no HIDs were offered on the SC3/400s from the factory.
